His facility with languages, mime, dance, hard work and sexual appeal, rockets Gatino from humble roots to the star of European stages in Berlin and Paris. Nurtured by impresario Naum Rozenberg, his fame grows as he conquers the nascent art of silent film. But Naum is unable to keep the young man to himself and Gatino's heart is captured by Freddie Gage, scion of a New York financial empire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGage is in Paris trying to reimagine his life, or run away from it, and falling in love with Gatino seems a heaven-sent destiny. His family, however, seek his return to New York and his responsibilities there and, with subterfuge, create a break. Gage is friends with established New Yorkers Robert and Donough Gaylord and their neighbors Vadriel Vail and lover Armand de Guise. Set against a backdrop of the first voyage of the Titanic, and the flourishing silent film industry of Paris and New York, queer life of the times is the thread stitching multiple stories together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmbitious, erudite, and lush, Children of Light is an explicit, joyful, unapologetic celebration of queer love.
